Living in Spencerport, NY
Spencerport is a true canal village, and it's full of charm! Originally a farm known as "Spencer's Basin," it grew up along the Erie Canal, and the canal is still the heart of the village today. Spencerport sits in the Town of Ogden, about 10 miles west of Rochester, with a walkable village center surrounded by quiet neighborhoods and open farmland.
